Course description
Technical Writing Training
The ability to write clear, concise documents related to technical issues is a highly desirable skill that is much different from writing letters, emails, and non-technical documents. The creation of effective technical materials requires discipline, organization, and a keen eye for detail.
TrainSMART’s on-site face-to-face technical writing training course is designed to give good writers or technical staff who have decent writing skills the tools needed to design, develop, and maintain technical documents.
